It's a non-compete clause.
There is no such thing as a non-competency clause although I suspect in this case there ought to be.

I've just got sent an addendum to my (existing) contract to sign, that states that my company and me personally guarantee that we agree with the non-competency clause described in the original contract, and then asking me to sign in person and as my Ltd's rep.
I think that's superfluous and a workaround on not mentioning me personally in the original contract. thoughts on this?

A contract shouldn't really have a non-compete clause. In my view it is a pointer to employment but probably there are more important considerations. I would try and have it removed but I wouldn't cancel the contract because of it.

I think it's rubbish. I'd be willing to bet more business sign non compete clauses than employees do.

New contract - non competency clause
I am about to sign a new contract with an agency through to an end client, and I have been reading through the clauses.
One of them refers to non-competency, but searching through the internet, I came accross this
One of the fundamental considerations when determining whether or not a person is an employee instead of an independent contractor is by the employer exerting control over the party. Having a party signs a non-compete agreement may be considered a higher level of control and that he or she is likely being treated as an employee rather than an independent contractor.
A finding that a person is an employee instead of an independent contractor can result in a business owing penalties, overtime pay, workers’ compensation premiums, contributions to unemployment insurance programs and benefits.
